Yeh, I'm curious as well. Why................?

I'm under the impression that 7th gen sedans share the same doors, rockers etc.... call me crazy

It all depends on what you paint them with. You must remember that they're in a position where they're going to get hit with every rock, stick and road debris that you can't avoid.
Most store brands (Krylon, Dupli-color etc) won't be as durable as you want (somewhat brittle) and will chip rather easily.
To live any length of time, you'd need to use Imiron, Two part Expoxy types or add a plastisizer to regular automotive paint (makes in flexable) and more resistant to dings. Best done by a Body Shop, unless you've got access to spray equipment and the materials.

the answer is yes, i believe a few people misread the question....if you take skirts off of the same car, except in your case an ex, they will fit fine....
plus they will be a far better color match than anything you can spraypaint....

oh yeah, i would definately bring it to get professionally painted, i wouldn't try to can paint it. i would be most interested in just swapping from an ex though, i just wanted to make sure there were no subtle differences i didn't know about before buying looking for and buying them.
